O’Brien County, IA – Every year between October 15th and December 7th, Iowans on Medicare have the opportunity to review and make changes to their drug plan or Medicare Advantage.
The Part D and Medicare Advantage plans can change their coverage, premiums, co-payments, and provider networks every year. It is important that Iowans on Medicare use this time to review changes to their current plan, and compare with plans available to them in 2024.
Iowa Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) and Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) are here to help you. In 2022, the program served over 40,000 Medicare beneficiaries and saved clients in Iowa millions of dollars by helping them compare and find the plan that best meet their needs.
Take advantage of the annual open enrollment period! Work with local volunteer SHIIP-SMP counselors who are ready to help provide one-on-one assistance navigating Medicare options.
SHIIP-SMP programs are free, confidential, and unbiased services offered by the State of Iowa. SHIIP-SMP Counselors are volunteers trained by the state and do not sell or promote any insurance companies, policies, or agents.
In O’Brien County, SHIIP-SMP services are made available at MercyOne Primghar Family Practice Clinic. Call to make an appointment today at: 712-957-5579
